Celebrate Israel(New York, NY)—On Sunday, June 1, nearly 400 Christians led by Eagles' Wings gathered from across the east coast to march alongside over 35,000 participants in the 50th Annual Celebrate Israel Parade in New York City. This is the third year in its history that Christians were invited to march alongside their Jewish brothers and sisters in unity and celebration.

Representing the sole Christian group that has participated in one of New York's largest parades, Eagles' Wings mobilized Christians from dozens of churches all over the Tri-State area, and as far as Buffalo, NY. Eagles' Wings executive director Robert Stearns led the way and later spoke on the significance of Christians marching in the parade's 50th year: "We were blessed as Americans to be able to participate in this historic event and demonstrate our support for the state of Israel and the values our two nations share."
